No time to dive into this right now, but when I run 'svn diff -c 33238', I
see stuff like:

   ...
   Merged /trunk/www/issue-tracker.html:r2-28216

Something in the merge is pulling into some really, really old revisions,
and I'm guessing that 'svn log -g' is just faithfully following the trail
where it leads.
